Problem with Sun Update contract entitlements
I've been trying to get this Sun Update Connection thing working for a few days now. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or if there is a problem.
Pre-requisites;
I have two contracts with Sun, one Premium software-only contract and one Silver hardware/software contract. Both are in good standing and any Sun Online users tied to these contracts are able to function properly.
Attempts;
I attempted to install Sun Update Connection on one system, register it with the GUI application that one apparently must use. After which I was able to patch up that system. I thought to myself that I'd register another system. The second system was rejected, with the complaint that the username was already registered.
I then attempted to set up a Sun Update Connection Proxy (previously known as a LPS) on the already properly registered system. After which I attempted to use smpatch(1M) to apply patches on a few systems, fetching the patches from the patch host. This failed.
I now tried to run the registration wizard again on the patch host (already registered system) to verify my information, because the logs were complaining that my credentials were rejected. I now learn that neither of my contracts are valid keys anymore.
What gives?
What am I doing wrong? I am rather up the creek as I am forced by Sun to use this patching procedure and I have no alternative. Is there a workaround?
